• that's not true at all imo. For a start I wouldn't modify my house, particularly not the roof. A 'Garden room' is just a few timber frames, some cladding and and EPDM roof. Ok, if you want to build a small house in your garden then it's complicated, but if all you want is somewhere dry to fix bikes and ride the turbo then it's really no harder than a stud wall.

    I took a week off work with my wife and we built it together. I'm slightly DIY minded but had to borrow a chop saw so hardly an expert, and it was really enjoyable. I'd fully recommend anyone thinking of doing it to have a crack. The worst that can happen is it falls down.

    That's a shed, or summerhouse. I don't think it's semantics. A garden room is fundamentally different.

    Look at that ali dude on YouTube. There's fucking loads to consider for something with decent insulation and electrics. Or closer to home, the start and finish dates of the builds on here.

    Fwiw I think the best budget option is to settle for a 3 season space. Get a decent shed kit, diy build, pimp with insulation, etc.
